This page covers biological details of component group Amygdala. Component group is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.
- Top-down path to center: Forebrain Telencephalon -> Extended Amygdala (FAM.FT.EXTAM) -> Amygdala (FAM.FT.AM) (see Mind Maps)
- Function: Experiencing and recognizing emotions

Components
(generated)
Component items:
- Basolateral Nuclear Complex (FAM.FT.AM.BL): stimulating emotional response
- Lateral Amygdaloid Nucleus (FAM.FT.AM.LA): plasticity, conditional (neutral stimulus) to specific (taste, smell, visceral) unconditional (positive or negative stimulus) association
- Dorsolateral Amygdaloid Nucleus: conditional stimulus input - high-aggregated visual, auditory and somatic, patterns of perception
- Ventrolateral Amygdaloid Nucleus: unconditional stimulus input - visual, auditory and somatic, convergence from thalamus
- Ventromedial Amygdaloid Nucleus: conditional and unconditional convergence to affect polymodal memory formation
- Basal Amygdaloid Nucleus (FAM.FT.AM.B): enhance explicit memories in hippocampus about emotional situations
- Parvicellular Basal Amygdaloid Nucleus: enhance explicit memories in hippocampus about emotional situations
- Magnocellular Basal Amygdaloid Nucleus: enhance emotional memories memories in medial prefrontal cortex
- Accessory Basal Amygdaloid Nucleus: enhance assotiative memory formation
- Lateral Amygdaloid Nucleus (FAM.FT.AM.LA): plasticity, conditional (neutral stimulus) to specific (taste, smell, visceral) unconditional (positive or negative stimulus) association
- Corticomedial Nuclear Complex (FAM.FT.AM.CTM)
- Cortical Amygdaloid Nucleus (FAM.FT.AM.CO): olfactory processing
- Anterior Cortical Amygdaloid Nucleus: olfactory processing - conditional contextual signaling
- Posterior Cortical Amygdaloid Nucleus: olfactory processing - unconditional signaling
- Centromedial Nuclei (FAM.FT.AM.CM): attention and arousal
- Central Amygdala (FAM.FT.AM.CEA): mediate behavioral responses, link to general aspects of reinforcement; responses to fear stimuli; directing attention and behaviors when salience of competing stimuli is in flux
- Central Amygdaloid Nucleus, capsular subdivision: mediate behavioral responses, link to striatal effect
- Central Amygdaloid Nucleus, lateral subdivision: mediate behavioral responses, link to gustatory and visceral aspects of reinforcement
- Medial Central Amygdaloid Nucleus: mediate behavioral responses, output projections
- Medial Amygdala (FAM.FT.AM.M): sense of smell and pheromone-processing
- Medial Anterior Amygdaloid Nucleus: olfactory processing
- Medial Posteror Dorsal Amygdaloid Nucleus: reproductive behavior
- Medial Posteror Ventral Amygdaloid Nucleus: defensive behavior
- Central Amygdala (FAM.FT.AM.CEA): mediate behavioral responses, link to general aspects of reinforcement; responses to fear stimuli; directing attention and behaviors when salience of competing stimuli is in flux
- Cortical Amygdaloid Nucleus (FAM.FT.AM.CO): olfactory processing
- Intercalated Amygdaloid Nuclei: inhibit excessive emotional behavior
